CGAP is a global partnership of more than 30 leading development organizations dedicated to advancing the lives of people living in poverty, especially women, through financial inclusion.
CGAP works at the frontier of inclusive finance to test solutions, spark innovation, generate evidence, and share insights. CGAP’s knowledge enables public and private stakeholders to scale solutions that make financial ecosystems meet the needs of poor, vulnerable, and underserved people and of micro and small enterprises (MSEs), including through advancing women’s economic empowerment. As a global public good, CGAP’s independent research and analysis is available to all.
CGAP envisages responsible and inclusive financial ecosystems that enable a green, resilient, and equitable world for all. CGAP is guided by a five-year strategy and annual workplans – the current strategy covering FY24-28 (CGAP VII Strategy) contributes to strengthening responsible and inclusive financial ecosystems by elevating the focus of financial inclusion to broader development outcomes.
To achieve this, CGAP focuses on contributing to seven outcome areas through its work program: (i) mobilizing financial services for climate adaptation, mitigation, and a just transition; (ii) mobilizing financial services for building resilience to shocks and managing risk; (ii) mobilizing financial services for women and MSEs to capture economic opportunities; (iv) increasing the breadth and depth of financial inclusion; (v) promoting responsibility in financial ecosystems and enabling financial sector policies and regulations; (vi) enhancing the effectiveness of impact investing in inclusive finance and the inclusiveness of carbon markets; and (vii) generating and promoting evidence of what works, where, and for whom.
Through its work, CGAP is committed to accelerating progress toward women’s financial inclusion, and we take a gender-intentional approach to our research and advocacy efforts CGAP is housed in the World Bank. For more information, please visit https://www.cgap.org/
As part of its work to mobilize financial services for building resilience to shocks and managing risks, CGAP seeks to address critical barriers to insurance provision including regulatory constraints, lack of political support, high cost of insurance, lack of awareness and trust, lack of data and technologies to provide affordable insurance to unserved and underserved segments. CGAP aims to foster the growth of inclusive insurance markets by focusing on two key areas:
(1) promoting customer-centric, scalable insurance solutions through the development of integrated risk management and tackling business model constraints, such as distribution and premium financing, to enhance scalability and impact; and
(2) fostering a conducive enabling environment by collaborating with regulators, supervisors, and national and global networks to advance effective policies, regulations, and market practices. To contribute to an enabling environment CGAP hosts the Access to Insurance Initiative (A2ii).
